About your PC3220 Wireless PC Card Modem

The PC3220 is a wireless PC Card modem designed to fit into a Type II PC Card slot available

on most notebook PCs. This uniquely designed card allows you to connect to the Internet, send

and receive email efficiently, connect to your company’s network, and maximize productivity

when away from the office.

Power Management

Designed to take advantage of the power management and system overhead

benefits offered by the 32-bit CardBus electrical interface that extends battery life.

CardBus: another name for “advanced PC Card,” the CardBus interface works at

lower battery voltage and operates at a greater speed than the standard PC Card

interface.

What is the Mobile Connection Manager?

The Mobile Connection Manager is an application designed to assist you in managing the

PC3220. With this application you can easily monitor and customize your connections.

The Mobile Connection Manager Software guides you through the wireless connection process.

Similar to a mobile phone display, the user interface of the Mobile Connection Manager instructs

you when to insert the PC3220 into your laptop, advises you on network availability, displays the

time of your session and amount of data being transferred and received, and when your

connection becomes dormant. Other features allow you to customize your settings, review your

connection history, and access a digital help file.

Caring for your PC3220

Storage:

§ When not in use, fold the antenna down and store in a compartment where the card can

be protected from being crushed or broken.

§ Do not apply adhesive labels to the PC3220. This may cause the card to jam inside the

PC Card slot of your notebook PC.

§ The antenna extends freely, do not forcefully hyper-extend the antenna. This may cause

it to break.

§ The PC3220 should easily fit into the PC Card slot. Forcing the PC3220 into the PC

Card slot may cause considerable damage.

§ Your PC3220 should be stored in a dry and clean place. Protect your card from liquids,

dust and excessive heat.

What is CDMA?

Your PC3220 operates on a wireless cellular network called CDMA (Code Division Multiple

Access). CDMA is a digital spread-spectrum wireless technology that offers reliable, high

speed, bi-directional throughput of up to 144 kbps for email, corporate databases and all the

5

services of the Internet. The PC3220 is a high performance card that enables you to both

send and receive data/email at maximum network rates.

Often times when using a dial-up connection, a "network busy" signal appears. That's

because there are "bottlenecks" slowing down the network. With the spread spectrum

technology of CDMA these frustrating bottlenecks are eliminated. In fact, CDMA technology

allows a network to handle more calls than competing digital technologies. Today, over 100

million consumers worldwide rely on CDMA technology for quality voice communications

and reliable, high-speed data.

What about privacy? The secure CDMA network is designed with digital coding that is

recognized only by the base station and unintelligible to eavesdroppers.

For more information on CDMA, visit the CDMA Development Group website: www.cdg.org

The Signal Strength icon displays when the Mobile Connection Manager is turned on. The bars

indicate the strength of the radio signal. Four bars signify that the signal strength is at its

maximum peak. The strength will change depending on where you are.

16

When no signal is available, the antenna symbol will change to red and the bars will be dimmed.

When this occurs, no connection is possible for one of the following reasons:

• You are outside of a CDMA network coverage area

• The signal strength is too weak

• A network problem is preventing the PC3220 from obtaining service

• The Mobile Connection Manager is not turned on or the PC3220 has not been inserted

• The antenna is not raised to a 90° angle

available

17

When the indicator is “off” (dimmed), you are within the local coverage area of Verizon Wireless.

You are not roaming.

Note: Your coverage area and billing charges depend upon your Verizon Wireless and the type of

account you have. There may be surcharges for roaming service that varies based on whether you

are in a preferred roaming area or a non-preferred roaming area. If there is no roaming agreement

between Verizon Wireless and the local carrier, you may be unable to complete calls in a non-

preferred zone.

Connection Indicator

The Connection Indicator icon signifies that a connection is established. The icon will flash while

you are in the process of connecting and will then remain static once you are connected.

If the Connection Indicator icon is dimmed, there is no connection nor is a connection attempt in

process.

Connection Time

The Connection Time field displays the duration of the current data call or connection. The timer

begins as soon as a connection is established.

The time format is 00hrs: 00min: 00sec.
